Springer, 2016. — 386 p.13th International Conference, ICIAR 2016 in Memory of Mohamed Kamel. Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, July 13–15, 2016 Proceedings.The 2016 International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition (ICIAR 2016) along with these proceedings are dedicated to the memory of the founding chair of this conference, the late Mohamed Kamel, University Research Chair Professor at the University of Waterloo, Canada. Mohamed Kamel passed away peacefully on December 4, 2015. Mohamed was a friend, a research partner, and an enthusiast of this series of conferences, held periodically in Portugal and Canada, and which ran its 13th edition this year. Mohamed’s passing was a great loss to our research community, and during this conference we organized in his honor, a special session dedicated to his memory and entitled: “Advances in Data Analytics and Pattern Recognition with Applications.”
This series of annual conferences offers an opportunity for the participants to interact and present their latest research in theory, methodology, and applications of image analysis and recognition. ICIAR 2016, the International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition, was held in Póvoa do Varzim, Portugal, July 13–15, 2016. ICIAR is organized by AIMI—Association for Image and Machine Intelligence—a not-for-profit organization registered in Ontario, Canada.Advances in Data Analytics and Pattern Recognition with Applications
